Unfortunately, that’s a common theme in some evangelical circles. We’re so concerned about people feeling good about themselves we fail to understand that if we don’t mention sin and how dead we are without Christ, they’ll miss the whole point of the gospel. The gospel is this. We were born in sin because of Adam and Eve. Nothing we can do can fix it. A perfect sacrifice is needed. Jesus was sent. He lived perfectly. Died a criminal’s death, shed his blood, rose again three days later defeating death, providing a way of salvation to all who confess and believe. Parents, share the FULL gospel story. As you do, our kids will understand how amazing His grace really is.
Suggested Reading: Romans 10:9-10, Ephesians 2:8-9, I John 1:9
I just heard a sermon on this this morning so I think God is speaking to me between the sermon and the keys for kids message.
I also need to share the message of sin/separation from God/ grieving the Holy Spirit/ repentance/receiving Christ and the gospel message, relationship with Christ.
